female comedian

Welcome to the Authentic Millennial Podcast with your host Dj Ace. Listen in as the first guest female comedian Aminah Imani flexes  her spiritual side! Aminah gets candid about the power of words! At the end of the podcast, Aminah throws in some jokes about Pornhub.  

Hiiro's cousin Emily Kron joins us to discuss all things performing arts while navigating the pandemic in NYC! Emily opens up about being an artist in her community and her transition from being on stage to writing for film production.

From sketch comedy, to tv/film, to musical theatre, Emily has been writing and performing in the Big Apple for many years. She has done a plethora of theatre and film, proudly defying any one given character "type" on her journey. Brooklyn-based, Emily also has a band, Em & The Fates, which she performs as lead vocalist/front-woman and writes the original music.

Emily also shares some cute memories about her and Hiiro growing up when they've spent time visiting each other in Vancouver and New York.

Emily is full of Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve and Talent, which stands for.... okay friends, don't be gross!

It's fate! It's a warm summer's night in the mobile and the girls have found a book on Breda's book shelf,"The best of the best toilet reading". Laura opens the book at random and the title reads "Nudes & Prudes", well if this isn't great reading material for a podcast, what is? 

Israeli comedian, Nina Susman, comes over to my house for a candid wine fueled conversation about how we filter ourselves as comedians, what it's like to live on a kibbutz and more!  Listen all the way through to hear a clip of Nina's stand up comedy!

Described as Mona Lisa Vito meets Biggie, comedian Tara Cannistraci seems sweet, but don't cut her off in traffic! She has been killing it for the last few years, but it's not all roaring laughter and sitcom deals. Tara takes us through her journey and what it takes to make it through the roller coaster that is stand-up comedy.

Tara is an Italian-American stand-up comedian born and raised in the Bronx, NY. She uses her New York upbringing as the foundation for her take on observational comedy. She has taken her talents to stage, television, film & off-Broadway. She wrote for and and was featured on SportsNet New York’s (SNY) “Oh Yeah”. Tara is the co-creator of We Stand Comedy, an LLC that produces live shows and digital content. Tara is a proud member and regular performer at the world famous Friars Club. She produces and performs for fellow Friar Chazz Palminteri’s Child Reach Foundation and tours regionally with Danny Aiello’s Italian Chicks.

Relinquishing shame and stepping into her fullest self is what impersonating others did for Chloe Fineman once she discovered comedy. But her journey to this comfort within only came after lots of zigs and zags. For years, Chloe struggled to fit into a traditional acting career that demanded she shrink herself both literally and figuratively to fit into a waify ingenue “hot girl box.” But a bout with anorexia followed by a chapter of overeating ice cream and blowing out her thyroid led to a dramatic weight gain that became the turning point in Chloe’s path towards fully owning her inner-clown. Today, with an arsenal of wigs, Chloe prides herself on the contribution to society that she makes by embodying the tragic flaws of problematic white women, like Ivanka Trump and Elizabeth Holmes. Feeling the most beautiful when she’s doing her work, Chloe is a tour de force of comic relief, healing pain with lots of laughs.

“When I'm doing something where I feel like I'm talented when I'm doing the thing that I love to do and I know that I have a skill at...I'll usually feel really beautiful. I think that's a good way to navigate your relationships; who sees you as beautiful in that or who sees you in a selfie?”

Jess Harris is the co-creator of the 'Twentysomething' - now screening on Netflix. Born out of the fear of not knowing how to 'be good at life' in her twenties - she and creative partner in crime, Josh Schmidt wrote, directed and starred in a no-budget series that went from community TV to the ABC - and even to flirtations with Hollywood. I caught up with Jess - appropriately raspy-voiced on the Monday morning after a big weekend - to talk about the highs and lows on her continuing journey of learning how to turn what she loves into a career.
